Vintage Wedding Save The Dates

There are resources galore that you can use to make Vintage
Wedding Save the Dates. If you rummage through the goods at a your local thrift
store, craft market you might be lucky enough to find some old vintage
postcards, books or music sheets with fabulous illustrations to suit your
theme. Garage sales are another good place to shop for unique one off items.

Art Deco Girl Cards - No Wonder They're Happy

1927 Sheet Music with Ukulele Arrangement

The front of our save the date postcard is a piece of vintage sheet music (found on eBay for around $2-$7),
that I had scanned with a high-resolution scanner at Kinko's (it was too big
to fit on our home scanner.) The back was just done in Word, in a pretty font
I found...I think it was called "HutsutRalston"

Then we used Vistaprint.com for the layout and printing. I think we paid about $80
for 250 cards...not bad! Vistaprint is a good friend to the DIY-er.

with vistaprint)

We also DIY'd our invites; I don't have a sample now, but I'd be happy to send
you one once I scan them. They were made using graphics I found in a French
translation of "The Owl and the Pussycat" from the '60's, and we got a ton of
compliments on them.
